@Unknown Hacker: Shouldn't MU automatically lose 0:3 due to not having enough players on the field after the 5th sending off?

You'd think so but the game doesn't code for this eventuality because it required a perfect storm of events. The ref had a shocker and booked anyone who came near him which led to the hilarious predicament that they found theirselves in.

-(Frey) *Catch the ball* Got it! Woot!... wait... stop, stop, feet, stooooopppppp!
OMG ref you saw what happened I tried to stop but some weird force kept me going!!!
(Ref) Yeah I saw that son, but rules is rules I'm sorry... next time don't wear skates on football field mmm'kay (red card!)

Second yellow i presume? That play doesn't meet the "4D" requirements to send a player off for DOGSO.
Direction: He caught the ball in the area (legally), and moved it away from the goal by carrying it outside. The ball was moving away from the goal before anything illegal occurred. The ball must be moving towards goal (or at least in the general direction of the goal) for a goal scoring opportunity to be "obvious."
Defenders: he was the last one, so this criterion is met
Distance to goal: the byline to the near post is 18 yards, so this was about 20. The angle would be a tough one if an attacker were there to shoot, though. For the sake of argument we'll say this criterion was met, but again, it's doubtful.
Distance to ball: well, he handled it, so that's as close as you can get!

3 out of 4 criteria (or arguably 2 out of 4) are met, so this can't be a red card. Goalkeepers handling the ball outside the area do not automatically receive red cards.

The ball must be moving towards goal (or at least in the general direction of the goal) for a goal scoring opportunity to be "obvious."

This is nowhere to be found in the rules, and rightly so. Imagine a winger going to the goal line, passing the ball backwards (away from the goal) to an attacker, who - with an open goal - is tripped from behind by a defender. Surely an obvious goalscoring opportunity, and a red card.

The only thing about direction in the rules concerning sending offs for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity refers to the opponent: (from fifa.com)

denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an offence punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick.

CM 01/02 did. I once won a game 3-0 because the opposition were reduced to six men.
I also had a game abandoned in the same save.

Super Cup in 2019, Valencia vs Man Utd finishes 1-1 after ET. Evenly matched in the penalties so far, but Valencia need to score in their last kick to mount the pressure. Up steps.... Blind... who misses the target

Is there a conflict of interest when you manage both a National and club team? You be the judge

(Me as England Manager) Mmm so Blackburn want me to play their CD Scott Dann for only 45 minutes in the upcoming friendly? Well that's fine he's only a 2nd back-up anyway not sure if I'll pick him to the reserve either

(Me as England Manager) Oh... darn I forgot about the 45 min instructions, Scott Dann played full 90 min and now his condition is only 59% after the game... guess he'll have to miss his next league game... that's too bad
